Hello my name is Ken Ferrell, I'm from Leapwood Tennessee, a small community, population 300 on a good day, which is just outside the thriving metropolis of Adamsville, Population of 3500 Adamsville is where the famous Sheriff Bufford Pusser (walking tall hero) lived. I've been turning pens for a bit over a year, and kind of started some round dished out things, Not quite bowls yet, but getting close, I was a Machinist for many years, and have started making some of my own wood working tools, using carbide inserts, I really look forward to learning as much as my senile dementia will allow, smiley=dankk2.gif

I do believe you'll fit right in here with the rest of us nuttz. With your machinist experience... you'll do well, just remember its wood... like Chucks head so treat it softly, not like Ken's head... tin... hehehe Get it... Tin Head LOL!!!
